Westchester Racers

The Westchester Racers are a runty team based in Yonkers, NY that currently play in the North-Eastern Runty Championship. In 1952, Westchester joined the NERC, becoming fully professional.

Background
In a visit to the team's headquarters in 1950, Elmer Wilkins was thoroughly impressed with how well-run the club was from top to bottom, even going on to say that “It’s as if they are already a professional club of the highest standard”. He eventually granted them entry into the NERC in 1952. They didn’t have the best attendance in the NYRL, but the club wasn’t worried, as the draw of playing the sport’s best league was sure to bring more people to games. Westchester play at the Yonkers Avenue Links, in Yonkers.
